Remarks
This method is called by ApplicationSettingsBase to initialize the settings provider.
Normally, this will set the provider's ApplicationName property to the assembly name
of the application. This is later used to determine the storage location of each of the settings.
However, for ASCOM purposes, we can't use the application name and we need to key off the
ASCOM DeviceID of the driver, so in ASCOM.SettingsProvider, the application name is set but never used.
